Forced out of his own company by former protégé Darren Cross, Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) recruits the talents of Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), a master thief just released from prison. Lang becomes Ant-Man, trained by Pym and armed with a suit that allows him to shrink in size, possess superhuman strength and control an army of ants. The miniature hero must use his new skills to prevent Cross, also known as Yellowjacket, from perfecting the same technology and using it as a weapon for evil.

Tom Holland
“Captain America: Civil War” (2016), “Spider-Man: Homecoming” (2017)
Holland’s Spider-Man practically charmed the shield off Captain America in his “Civil War” debut, thanks in large part to a return to the character’s roots as a younger, greener superhero who just wants to do good in the world like Cap, Iron Man and the rest of the Avengers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sure, it helps Iron Man himself Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) gives this Peter Parker a tech-enhanced costume, but ultimately it’s Pete’s chutzpah and humor that save the day, especially in “Homecoming.” less
